Completes the Windows-gating coverage for the built-in skills/ tree. Every
bundled SKILL.md now carries an explicit platforms: declaration so the
loader (agent.skill_utils.skill_matches_platform) can skip-load skills
that don't fit the current OS.
74 skills declared cross-platform (platforms: [linux, macos, windows]):
Creative (16): ascii-art, ascii-video, architecture-diagram, baoyu-comic,
baoyu-infographic, claude-design, creative-ideation, design-md,
excalidraw, humanizer, manim-video, p5js, pixel-art,
popular-web-designs, pretext, sketch, songwriting-and-ai-music,
touchdesigner-mcp
Autonomous agents: claude-code, codex, hermes-agent, opencode
Data/devops: jupyter-live-kernel, kanban-orchestrator, kanban-worker,
webhook-subscriptions, dogfood, codebase-inspection
GitHub: github-auth, github-code-review, github-issues,
github-pr-workflow, github-repo-management
Media: gif-search, heartmula, songsee, spotify, youtube-content
MCP / email / gaming / notes / smart-home: native-mcp, himalaya,
pokemon-player, obsidian, openhue

5 skills gated from Windows (platforms: [linux, macos]):
mlops/inference/vllm (serving-llms-vllm)
vLLM is officially Linux-only; Windows requires WSL.
mlops/training/axolotl
Axolotl's flash-attn + deepspeed + bitsandbytes stack is Linux-first.
mlops/training/unsloth
Requires Triton + xformers + flash-attn — Linux only in practice.
mlops/models/audiocraft (audiocraft-audio-generation)
torchaudio ffmpeg backend + encodec dependencies are Linux-first.
mlops/inference/obliteratus
Research abliteration workflow; relies on Linux-focused pytorch
kernels and MLX — no first-class Windows path.
Same strict-over-lenient policy as the optional-skills sweep: when the
underlying tool's Windows support is rough, missing, or WSL-only, gate the
skill. Easier to un-gate after verified Windows support lands than to leak
partial support that manifests as mid-task failures.
Combined with prior commits in this branch, every bundled SKILL.md
(skills/ + optional-skills/) now has a platforms: declaration.
Target: every skill's description fits in a one-line gateway menu and
leads with trigger keywords an agent would match on. Drops filler like
'Use this skill to', 'A skill for', 'This skill provides'.
Before: max description length was 791 chars (architecture-diagram),
74 of 81 built-in skills were >60 chars.
After: max 60, mean 54, all 81 built-in skills <=60.
Rewritten with double-quoted YAML scalars to preserve Chinese/arrow
glyphs (baoyu-comic, yuanbao, youtube-content).
Previous pass assumed both skills would always be loaded together, so
each description pointed at the other ('use concept-diagrams instead').
That breaks when only one skill is active — the agent reads 'use the
other skill' and there is no other skill.
Now each skill's description and scope section is fully self-contained:
- States what it's best suited for
- Lists subjects where a more specialized skill (if available) would be
a better fit, naming them only as 'consider X if available'
- Explicitly offers itself as a general SVG diagram fallback when no
more specialized skill exists
An agent loading either skill alone gets unambiguous guidance; an
agent with both loaded still gets useful routing via the 'consider X
if available' hints and the related_skills metadata.
Both skills generate SVG system diagrams, but for very different subjects
and aesthetics. The old descriptions didn't make the split clear, so an
agent loading either one couldn't confidently pick.
Changes:
- Rewrote both frontmatter descriptions to state the scope up front plus
an explicit 'for X, use the other skill instead' pointer.
- Added a symmetric 'When to use this skill vs <other>' decision table
to the top of each SKILL.md body, so the guidance is visible whether
the agent is reading frontmatter or full content.
- Added architecture-diagram <-> concept-diagrams to each other's
related_skills metadata.
Rule of thumb baked into both skills:
software/cloud infra -> architecture-diagram
physical / scientific / educational -> concept-diagrams
Port of Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator (MIT) as a Hermes skill.
Generates professional dark-themed system architecture diagrams as standalone
HTML/SVG files. Self-contained output, no dependencies.
- SKILL.md with design system specs, color palette, layout rules
- HTML template with all component types, arrow styles, legend examples
- Fits alongside excalidraw in creative/ category
